No Coronation for Romney

January 13, 2012 By Shane Vander Hart

As much as I’m sure it grieves establishment Republicans there will not be a coronation for Mitt Romney. No not yet. After just two contests you by the talk of the establishment and the media would think that it is in the bag, but the rules have changed. Super PACs have allowed candidates, like Newt Gingrich, to stay in the race when ordinarily they would have dropped out by now.

I think what we’re really up against is David vs. Goliath (Mammon). Thousands of years ago, David was given no chance of winning, and apparently he still isn’t. Doesn’t tie God’s hands, though. Of course, God isn’t going to twist people’s arms and force them to vote His way or anything, but He knows how to work this thing out. Nine days before IA, Santorum didn’t even appear close to winning the state, yet look how things turned out. None of us knows what’s going to happen, but as you said, definitely no coronation for Romney yet. It’s important we stay positive and keep fighting for His will to be done–not the media’s or the establishment’s. 😉 Regardless of the end result, I think a line from the Olympic Creed applies:
